I have been to a number of markets in the Algarve but last year went to Algoz market which is by far the biggest and best I've ever been to. Apart from the usual things for sale there were live animals for sale. There were also places to sit down and eat outdoor cooked chicken served with wine and bread.
This year I won't be in Albufeira for the 2nd Monday in the month which is when Algoz market takes place.
Does anyone know any similar markets to Algoz.
Thanks in anticipation for any suggestions.
The twice monthly market (1st and 3rd Tuesdays)at Albufeira is really aimed at tourists (I geeve you special price) and I don't think I can recommend it. Ditto those at Loulé and Quarteira.
There's a list of markets on this webpage I found but I haven't been to many of them so really don't know which would be closest to the Algoz type.

Great news for people of a certain age and those of us with dodgy knees, those damn steps at the East end of Fishermans beach are being replaced by an outdoors escalator, Soon you will be able to get off the at the "Tourist train".....(photo 1).... stop for Albufeira old town and not have to navigate those steps anymore........(photo 2) (did look a few weeks off completion when we were there last week 3/08)
In case you'll be in Albufeira on a rainy day, you could spend a few hours at the Archeological Museum. it's located in the old Town Hall building, opposite the bell tower. Its exhibits tell the history of the region from prehistoric, Roman, Islamic to the present day. In the same building you can also find the Historical Archive and Council Library (Arquivo Histórico e Biblioteca Municipal). Don't miss the manuscripts setion, ok?
This little church is my favourite of all the churches in Albufeira: it’s tiny but its decorations make it of outstanding beauty. The ceiling’s intricate pattern is really charming - and it seems that the idea of the cupola and surrounding pinnacles belong to popular architecture. I guess that there’s something of a Moorish influence, too, in the white-washed cupola. It was built in the 18th century and it is located in the Largo Jacinto d’Ayet square.
